Nothing but problems: São Paulo lose 3 more for Botafogo clash | OneFootball

São Paulo will have new problems for the next round of the Brasileirão, when they face Botafogo in a match valid for the 16th round.

There will be three more absences through suspension for Tricolor in the match against the Rio side next Saturday (23), at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), scheduled for Morumbi Stadium.

Left-back Enzo Díaz, defensive midfielder Bobadilla and forward André Silva received their third yellow card against Fluminense, in the 2-1 defeat last Saturday (16), and are suspended for the next round of the Brazilian Championship.

On the left side of defense, Wendell will naturally take the spot. In place of the Paraguayan midfielder, Pablo Maia could be an option, as he has been preparing to return to action next week. Luan is also an alternative.

André Silva, meanwhile, is Calleri’s backup, and Calleri is expected to retake his place after serving an automatic suspension against Flu in Rio de Janeiro. All of these issues are already problems for Dorival Júnior, the coach announced by the club, but who has yet to make his debut.

The new manager also arrives with a long list of injury absences: Luciano (swelling in the back of the right thigh), Lucas (surgery on the Achilles tendon in the right leg), Alan Franco (in recovery after a minor strain in the right adductor), Rafael Toloi (pain in the left calf), Pablo Maia (working on his fitness after surgery to repair fractures in his nose and face) and Marcos Antônio (in recovery after an injury to the right rectus femoris) are in the medical department. In addition, Maik and Arboleda remain sidelined from the Tricolor squad.

Before the clash against Botafogo, São Paulo have another match at Morumbi, against Millonarios of Colombia, at 9:30 p.m. this Tuesday (19), in the Copa Sudamericana.
